Giving Up Control: POURS

Giving up control and letting go of the need to make definite lines was interesting. Once we got past the messiness of the paint it was fun to embrace the messiness of the image itself. Watching the colors merge and dry in different shades than we had originally planned it was exciting, we stood witness as spirals formed and mushed. It was fascinating to see what the materials would do if we left them up to their own devices and let the art form itself.

  1. do you think that you could re-create some of the things you saw happening "naturally" to make other work you make more interesting? what was the paint doing?
